The Spending Choices and Happiness Quiz

Hello to all my Frugal Friends!

Wanted to alert you to a couple of things of interest.

Awhile back I was fortunate to meet Ryan Howell. Ryan is an assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University. He's created a "Personality & Well-being Lab" that works understand the role of finances and consumption in people's happiness.

One way he does that is by asking people to take online quizes. Right now he has one on Spending Choices and Happiness. If you have a minute or two (it doesn't take long) please take the quiz. You'll find it here . It does require you to register, but it's easy, free and informative!

Also wanted to mention that on the site we have a special section on crafting. How to craft without spending money, how to make money on your crafts and more. It's in the right hand column near the top.

About Gary

For more than 25 years, Gary Foreman has worked to manage money effectively. Prior to starting The Dollar Stretcher, he was a financial planner and purchasing manager.
While helping clients manage their hard earned money as a financial planner, he applied commonsense, time-tested techniques during the turbulent 1980’s. The experience convinced him that you didn’t need to hit the lottery to accumulate significant wealth.
Following that, Gary had an opportunity to learn more about how to get the best value for a dollar spent in the corporate world. As the Purchasing Manager for a computer manufacturer, he was responsible for supervising over $10 million in annual purchases.
Gary began The Dollar Stretcher website <www.TheDollarStretcher.com> and newsletters in April 1996. Over 300,000 readers benefit from the time and money saving ideas presented in The Dollar Stretcher newsletters each week. His mission is to help people "Live Better for Less".
He also provides private label newsletters for companies wishing to provide money saving information for their clients and/or prospects.
Gary lives in Florida along with his wife of thirty years and their two children. Much of his time is spent working with the men's ministry of his church. One of their ongoing projects is the "Holy Smoke BBQ" which sells bbq on Friday nights with the profits going to support local foster kids and orphans.
When he has a free moment you’ll find him restoring a Checker station wagon nicknamed “Two Ton” or cruising in a '65 Impala SS Convertible with doo-wops playing in the background.
